CALUMET CITY, IL--(Marketwire - September 25, 2009) - Students of Lincoln Elementary District
#156 now have a new and enhanced playground and will benefit from a number
of building renovations. The renovations were completed by Energy Systems
Group (ESG), a specialized energy service provider, and will provide the
school district with over $52,400 in energy and operational savings
annually.
The renovation of the east playground area included improvements to the
drainage system, and a new, smooth, play surface which improves drainage
and utilization by the district. In addition, the SMARTE fall protection
pads installed around the play equipment result in the highest possible
fall protection rating commercially available.
In addition to the new playground, Energy Systems Group has implemented a
number of energy efficiency measures. Key facility upgrades provided by
ESG's Chicago-based team include two new heat exchangers for roof top
units, lighting occupancy sensors throughout the school district, window
and door replacements in the elementary school wing, roof replacement and
repair, and new flooring in three classrooms.
"The Lincoln School leadership is dedicated to providing our students with
quality resources and facilities," said Dr. Darryl Taylor, school
superintendent. "The renovations and new equipment installed will not only
improve our students' learning environment, but will further position our
school district towards becoming green and more energy efficient."
"We commend Lincoln Elementary District on this innovative collaboration to
upgrade their buildings and playground, thereby enhancing their students'
educational environment and comfort, while reducing their energy costs and
carbon footprint," said Dan Legler, ESG account executive.
